Chapter 98 Do you really think I'm easy to bully?

Chen Jingyang's office is a central and important location; unauthorized personnel cannot enter without being summoned.

Zhang Pengfei couldn't get in, and didn't want to bother Li Huina to open the door for him, so he just stood at the door and waited.

Chen Jingyang didn't keep him waiting long; he returned in less than two minutes, his jawline taut and his face even more gloomy than the sky outside. He rarely showed this expression unless he was truly furious, the kind of anger that couldn't be suppressed.

Perhaps Li Jianren said something unpleasant to him again?

Zhang Pengfei withdrew his gaze, looked down at the ground, and stood there aloof and cold, exuding a sense of solitude that suggested he was indifferent to others' strength.

Chen Jingyang strode over, not even glancing at Zhang Pengfei, unlocked the door, kicked it open with a thud, and walked in. He stood still a few steps away, his shoulders heaving with anger.

Zhang Pengfei came in, closed the door, and stood at the doorway without moving.

The sky grew increasingly dark, as if slowly gathering strength. The office, with windows on three sides, felt as if it had been sucked into the clouds, creating a very oppressive atmosphere.

Chen Jingyang suddenly turned around, his eyes flashing with cold light. The surrounding air seemed to drop several degrees in fright, and a chill crept in from all directions, slowly penetrating the skin, seeping into the blood, and corroding the bone marrow.

"I clearly told you yesterday not to have any contact with Lee Kin-yan, why didn't you listen?!"

Zhang Pengfei raised his eyes, his clear pupils like a stagnant pool: "Do you need an obedient dog?"

Chen Jingyang narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean? Explain yourself!"

Zhang Pengfei slowly took a deep breath: "Chen Jingyang, I am truly grateful to you for saving me when I was in my most difficult time. I will never forget your great kindness!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was firm and powerful: "I will repay you every penny I owe you, I'd even give you my life! But this so-called game between humans and dogs ends here."

Chen Jingyang scoffed, "What, going back on your word again? Looks like your memory is really bad! I told you, once it starts, you have no say in when it ends!"

He moved closer to Zhang Pengfei, grabbed Zhang Pengfei's neck and said, "You dare to disobey me while wearing a smart ring? Have you forgotten what it feels like?"

Zhang Pengfei slapped his hand away, straightened his chest, and raised his head: "Chen Jingyang, if you have the guts, kill me! Stop humiliating me, okay?!"

"How did I demean you?!" Chen Jingyang's murderous aura suddenly surged: "Did I restrict your personal freedom, or control your mental state? I've given you everything I could and couldn't give you, what more do you want?!"

Zhang Pengfei roared, "So what?! You treat every dog ​​the same way, don't you?!"

Their eyes met, and it seemed as if tiny sparks of electricity collided, crackling and buzzing.

Chen Jingyang narrowed his eyes: "What did Li Jianren tell you?"

Zhang Pengfei turned his head away, his chest heaving, and looked out the window at the dark clouds pressing down. He hardened his expression and said, "You don't need to know."

Chen Jingyang remained silent for a moment, his anger slowly subsiding, and said frankly, "I did raise a few dogs before, but you are different from them."

Zhang Pengfei scoffed, "Different? What's the difference? Aren't they all the same: rewarding when happy and punishing when angry?"

“They’re different in many ways!” Chen Jingyang couldn’t stand Zhang Pengfei’s distrust of him and said impatiently, “I’ve spent a lot of money on other dogs, but I’ve never been so indulgent as you are!”

Zhang Pengfei smiled dejectedly. He had thought Chen Jingyang would say something earth-shattering, but it turned out he had only received some leniency compared to other dogs: "So, I have to thank you for your leniency, be grateful to you, and obey your every word, right?"

Chen Jingyang wanted to say that other dogs had no right to stand in front of him, no right to even look him in the eye, let alone talk back to him and argue with him like this!

He never bathed or medicated any of the dogs, never allowed any dogs to sleep in his bed, and never tested the danger of any tool before deciding which dog to punish.

No dog dares to beg or command him!

Only you, Zhang Pengfei!

Only you make me willing to call the place where you are "home"!

"Did Li Jianren tell you some things about my past?"

Zhang Pengfei snorted coldly: "What, if you won't tell me, can't someone else tell me?"

"Zhang Pengfei!" Chen Jingyang's face turned completely cold: "I didn't tell you because I felt there was no need to, just like I've never asked you how many girlfriends you've had! You don't understand Li Jianren, he..."

“You don’t need to comment on Li Jianren in front of me!” Zhang Pengfei suddenly interrupted Chen Jingyang. “I know you’re all no good! And don’t be nervous about what bad things he said about you. I can tell right from wrong. He just gave me some well-intentioned reminders.”

"A well-intentioned reminder?" Chen Jingyang laughed twice, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. "He would give you a well-intentioned reminder? You've only known him for a few days? Less than 48 hours at most, and you actually believed his well-intentioned reminder?!"

Zhang Pengfei said calmly, "If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die content in the evening. The truth is not about who came first or last, and the facts are never biased."

"So, you believe him, but not me?"

Zhang Pengfei turned around, his eyes filled with sorrow. He clenched his fist and pounded his neck twice, angrily shouting, "How can I trust you? Trust you based on this smart ring?!"

Tears suddenly broke free of their restraints, streaming down like a flood breaking through a dam: "You keep saying I'm different from other dogs, tell me, how am I different?! Is it the breed?! Black dogs and white dogs, aren't they all dogs?! Shouldn't they all be punished by you until they kneel and beg for mercy?!"

The anger that had been barely suppressed now rebounded violently, as if doused with several buckets of oil. Chen Jingyang's eyes instantly turned red: "Did I punish you wrongly?! Shouldn't you be punished?!"

If it were a contest of who could shout the loudest, Chen Jingyang would win this round; Zhang Pengfei's ears were ringing from the noise.

Chen Jingyang has always presented a gentle and elegant image, and is extremely well-mannered. This is the first time he has acted like a shrew, shouting and confronting someone.

“Zhang Pengfei! Think carefully, how did our relationship begin? Yes, I was the one who first offered to make you my dog, but you refused! Did I force you? Huh?!”

Chen Jingyang, his face flushed and neck bulging with anger, pounded his chest loudly: "You were the one who begged me to be your dog! I told you the rules from the beginning, do you remember what you said then? You fucking said you would never regret it! But what about now?!"

He grabbed Zhang Pengfei's shoulder and shook him hard: "Now that things have come to this, what are you complaining about?! You've gone back on your word time and time again, what gives you the right?! Do you really think I, Chen Jingyang, am easy to bully?!"
